not save things for special occasions but make occasions special by using them =0) (clothing, dishes, jewelry, candles etc.)

Went to see Herbie Hancock last night and wore a dress I hadn’t worn before (but have had for ages), jewellry I rarely wear and perfume. I’m finding the vaguest excuse to use up things I would normally save ‘for best’ and it feels great. It’d be too sad to grow older without having made use of the things I like.

I’m working my way through the face creams, burning the nice candles, spraying the perfume and using the silver everyday but seem to still have a mental block about the clothes. If only I had some comfortable heels to wear, I wouldn’t have to wear those nice dresses with trainers or tottery shoes!

I have a load of samples of posh face creams. I’m going to start using them rather than waiting to prepare for some hoity toity party or wedding to prepare for that never materialises. I’m sure sme of those samples are 4 or more years old. Time to open them up! By April, my skin will look about 12 years old from all the pampering.

I am using the inherited silver everyday and eating from silver placemats. I am using my ‘good’ moisturiser and it feels great! Why have I been saving this stuff for best? Next step – dresses and anything else I can find!
